2009Q1: January-March, IPR

What's particularly interesting about our IPR sales is the volume to retailers. Do some quick thumbnailing to figure out the approximate percentages, and you'll see what I mean.

DLYM PDF: 16
DLYM SC: 62 (41 to retailers, 3 at cons)

DRYH PDF: 29
DRYH SC: 85 (52 to retailers, 2 at cons)

SOTC PDF: 14
SOTC SC: 174 (107 to retailers, 2 at cons)

SOTS PDF: 9
SOTS SC: 8

S7S HC: 56

2009Q1:
DLYM PDF - 16 + 16 = 32
DLYM SC - 0 + 62 = 62

DRYH PDF - 39 + 29 = 68
DRYH SC - 1 + 85 = 86

SOTC PDF - 62 + 14 = 76
SOTC SC - 0 + 174 = 174
SOTC HC - 4 + 0 = 4

SOTS PDF - 18 + 9 = 27
SOTS SC - 0 + 8 = 8

S7S HC - 0 + 56 = 56

Lifetime:
DLYM: 374 + 16 + 62 = 452
DRYH: 1964 + 29 + 85 = 2078 (milestone!)
SOTC: 3354 + 14 + 174 = 3542
SOTS: 480 + 9 + 8 = 497
S7S: 56

A solid quarter in a downturned economy. I'm happy.



2009Q2: April - OBS, Lulu, e23, YGN

Q2 2009 starts off with S7S getting into the mix. Remember, I don't include IPR numbers until the 15th of the month following the end of the quarter, so this is strictly other sales sites.

Again, remember that Q1's numbers still don't include the numbers for the quarter from IPR -- I won't see those until I get the end of quarter report from IPR around April 15th.

e23: 1 copy of SOTC

YGN: Best month at YGN ever -- and almost entirely due to the sale. YGN seems to get sales only when I discount my products, with a small number of exceptions, which sort of undercuts the whole "smaller cut than OBS" angle. 3 SOTC, 5 DRYH, and 1 Spirit of the Season

OBS: GM's Day promotion was a huge success. This was the best month I've had with OBS ever in terms of volume AND revenue (even with the promotional discounts), with the only exception being the first full month I had on OBS (July 2007) when all the products were new to that audience. 38 SOTC, 16 DRYH.

Lulu had a surge in hardcover sales: 9 SOTC Hardcover, 1 DRYH Softcover.

March's DRYH sales are the equal of January and February combined: 21 DRYH PDFs, with a bonus of 1 softcover sale (total of 22 sales).

On the SOTC front, 42 SOTC PDFs were sold and 9 SOTC hardcovers were sold, for a total of 51 -- which also beats January plus February's totals combined.

March also marks the first sales of Spirit of the Season (1 copy), of which we'll see more at mid-month when the IPR preorder and PDF sales report comes in.

Q1 2008's running tallies, combining this with January+February's data:

DRYH: 21 + 22 = 43 (42 PDF, 1 softcover)

SOTC:
6 HC + 9 HC = 15 HC's
40 PDF + 42 PDF = 82 PDF's.
Total SOTC so far: 97

Spirit of the Season: 1 PDF!
